FAQs
-
- Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 50 items.
- Production starts at £20 per item for a basic garment (exclusive of any fabrics, trims) - your retail price point will need to be high enough to cover manufacturing and materials.
- We produce premium quality garments in a sustainable way specialising in swim and active wear in stretch fabrics (we don’t make other garments in our studio, e.g. dresses, shirts, suits, etc).
- Lead times will depend on the number of items per order and complexity of garment construction.
- We don't produce childrenswear (we don't have the right machinery for compliance).
- We don't work with underwiring for swimwear (we don't have the right machine)
- Read our terms and conditions for further information.
